I guess, apart from the fact that the path string is invalid, there's another little problem. From the official Python docs:
os.remove(path, \, dir_fd=None)
Remove (delete) the file path. If path* is a directory, anOSErroris raised.
This code isn’t valid the path backslashes mess it up. \W and \S. Also doesn’t work if not on Windows. Also what’s the pi for?
Invalid escape sequences work in python. In the past they silently worked, for several versions now they emit SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence "\W".
So this code actually works (just with warnings) because both \W and \S are not real escape sequences...
But if it was user folder? C:\Users\... - \U is valid, but "s" is not valid continuation. So it throws as exception instead: SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
I've seen people not escape paths with silently working escape sequences. Like a folder/file starting with t, so it was \t in the path...
Interesting!
Running Windows on ARM
This way it won't work. Although there is another way to actually do it, I don't remember it
To be sure I would've used %WINDIR%\system32
\s is invalid and will error out.
What is "C:\Windows\System32"?
Is it somehow important? My computer doesn't have it and runs just fine.
it has "windows" in it, so maybe a part of X11? 🤔
Ah...good old snark from when Linux was a challenger on the desktop.
(PS: You also need to ask what that "C:" is for on the filesystem name)
Don’t run Linux, still can’t find System32 in the Finder 🤷♂️
linux is more a challenger now than possibly ever before.
Swap RasPi memory card for Linux-image
If reality is just code, then deletion is just... freedom. Lain probably
If lain still existed, would she use linux?
A few months ago I was skimming through my professor's c++ code and found a delete os instruction. After a brief heart attack and trying to figure out what he was trying to do, it turned out he initialized a pointer to an ostream object, which he called "os", and then he diligently deallocated it in the destructor of the class that the code was implementing
She smiled and suddenly I’m ready to roll a d6 for my life savings system32.
How many variations of this bad, old, overused joke are we going to see?
This is so far the cringiest one
this subreddit is about 99% recycled lame jokes
Honestly if you put Windows on a Raspberry Pi you deserve this
All I see is a badly written adware removal script.
Line 4 should clearly not be there.
Windows is not so bad,
... it is the baddest
